Rest in the hotel Kalia beach

Written: 8 october 2007
Travel time: 8 — 15 september 2007
Refrigerator - for a fee, air conditioning (if you want it to work for you), also paid 5 euros per day. On the beach 2 sun loungers with an umbrella 6 euros per day. We tried to sunbathe on the sand right on the towels, not really - the sand is constantly all wet. Either dew falls in the morning, or from constant humidity. But vacationers who were especially thirsty for a tan bought air mattresses (6 euros) and sunbathed on them. But a big plus - on the beach there is a shower and comfortable changing rooms, a toilet. In fact, for some reason there are no such services on the beach in Europe (at least in Portugal and Spain).
About food. The buffet that everyone is used to is missing. Rather, it is, but only in the morning, when the choice of dishes is very poor. In the morning, breakfast was present - Muesli, cereal, milk, yogurt (which is more like our sour cream), 2 types of sausage, which is inedible, cheese (not the best), tomatoes, feta, sometimes there were boiled eggs. To drink - drinks, standard, such as UPI, tea, coffee (which was bad, although their apparatus). There was also a cake (we did not like it) and 2 types of jam. That's all. Lunch and dinner were quite tasty, varied, but the cook himself, who stood at the distribution, put them on, and put what you showed him. This is usually 2 meat dishes, 2 side dishes to choose from (potatoes or rice, sometimes pasta), some local dish. Fish was rare (for all the time we were cooking it 2 times. ) Basically it is pork and lamb. But they cooked it deliciously. Salads could be put on your own. There were 6-7 of them every day. For sweet grapes, mousse. Sometimes there was melon. Lunch and dinner did not differ in the choice of dishes. Soup for all the time was once and then for some reason in the evening. Those who are accustomed to the Egyptian gorge will find it difficult to readjust. Personally, we have not seen a big problem in food, but for information I am writing about it.
Animation, which is indicated in the directories, is absent at all. Rest is boring. Bars and restaurants in the surroundings lure visitors, but for some reason no one dances. Once only in a nearby pub, drunken Englishmen danced under karaoke in English. We went to Hersonises (we rented a car for 8 days for 150 euros with all insurances - a Chevrolet Avio), we did not notice the vibrant nightlife described on all sites. Shopping and all, bored people sit in taverns and look at each other. Of course, there is no such fun as in Turkey. I will update my review after a while.
